Proud PI moment-2 technicians and 3 undergraduates from the lab are all going to graduate/medical schools this fall! Sad to see them leaving, but really happy for them. We are now recruiting people to work on neurodevelopmental disorders and gene therapy. Please reach out or RT.

Celebrating the diversity and differences that enrich and empower humanity. Let us continue to advocate for and support autism research to understand how to best lend a helping hand and raise awareness around the world. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay #WorldAutismMonth

I am reaching out to BCMHouston, BCM Department of Neuroscience, BCM Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, & the greater community on behalf of our stellar graduate student, Christina Magyar, and her wonderful husband @FrankMagyar3 through his long recovery. Please support their GoFundMe and RT. gofundme.com/f/please-help-…

Congratulations Pradeep Bhaskar

Thrilled to present the elegant dissection of a new disease gene discovery by postdoc Maimuna Sali Paul in collaboration with UDN BCM Department of Molecular and Human Genetics Dr. Heather Mefford @hcmefford.bsky.social at the 16th Annual Troina Meeting on Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disprders. #RareDisease #epilepsy

Kudos to our postdoc Maimuna Sali Paul for her exciting platform presentation on the collaborative discovery of a new translationopathy neurodevelopmental syndrome at #Dros22 Genetics Society of America! Grateful to work with amazing physician-scientists and leaders, Anna Duncan and @pankajagrawalb

Over 65 million people are affected by rare diseases in the US and Europe combined. In India, the number of affected people could exceed 70 million!! If you care about #RareDisease & you are interested in rare disease research, mark your calendar for this conference in Jan 2024!

Congratulations, Debdeep Dutta and the team!

Excited to share our PPFIA3 story #ASHG2023

Excited to share our recent work at #ASHG2023 tomorrow!! Session: Dysfunction of the power house: Mitochondrial disorders Time: 1:45 PM-2:45 PM (EDT)

Grateful to amazing families, colleagues, trainees, & UDN led by rising star Maimuna Sali Paul to uncover a role for #PPFIA3 in #epilepsy #autism! Welcoming families & collaborators to join our study of PPFIA3-disorders, bench to bedside. BCM Department of Molecular and Human Genetics BCM Department of Neuroscience AJHG
